VEVOR Fire Pit Wind Guard, 17 x 17 x 6 Inch Glass Flame Guard, Round Glass Shield, 1/4-Inch Thick Fire Table, Clear Tempered Glass Flame Guard, Aluminum Alloy Feet for Propane, Gas, Outdoor

When I purchased the fire pit table, I was nervous about the pets being around it. This was the best price I could find without compromising quality and it’s perfect. A wind guard does prevent the heat from reaching you as well, so I sometimes take it off if the pets are not going to be out here but it’s just doing its job. A tiny bit awkward to put together with just one person, but I managed without frustration.

This is an addendum to my original review below:The first time I tried to assemble the glass ring, I had a terrible time achieving symmetry, so I took it apart and tried again. It was a little better but still didn't hold together firmly. The third time, as noted below, I allowed a certain amount of wiggle room before tightening all the screws. Assembly wasn't perfect, but adequate.The other day we had heavy rains, so I covered my fire pit without removing the glass ring. When I removed the cover, which fits quite tightly, the ring came apart, so I had to go through the process of reassembling it. Instead of trying to fudge and just adjusting it, I took the whole thing apart and started all over again. I can't say this for sure, but I think I must have turned at least one of the pieces over except for the one with the brand label on it. For some reason, it went together beautifully. I can assume only that the glass pieces are not perfectly symmetrical, so they fit together differently depending on which side is up or down. Therefore, I suggest that if you have trouble assembling the pieces, turn one or more of them over and see if you have more success that way. I hope this makes sense.Original Review:This fits my fire pit perfectly and adds not only protection but enhances the brilliance of the flames as it provides reflection. I was a little concerned about stability, but the ring is heavy enough so that it remains firmly in place.Now about the assembly. The instructions are less than adequate, so you'll have have to employ some critical thinking. It seems as if the brackets don't match the contour of the glass pieces, but that's only if you try to force them together too tightly. As others have noted, it's easier to reverse the assembly instructions, that is, do the bottom part right side up. The instructions don't include information on what to do with those little rubber pieces, but I figured out that they need to be attached to the end of the screws to provide protection from metal-on-glass friction and also to provide a little wiggle room to make the pieces form a symmetrical circle. Insert the brackets between the glass pieces and then sort of eyeball the connection to make sure they are symmetrical. Then you can tighten the bottom pieces and carefully flip it over to do the same with the top brackets. I initially tried to attach one bracket and then the rest, but that resulted in asymmetry. I just wish these companies would spend a few more resources on technical writers!

Fits perfectly!

The assembly clips simply did not fit and are right on the edges of the glass. The radius of the clips do not match the radius of the assembled glass. It seems they may have just one set of clips for all radius' of glass ordered. The assembly instructions did not match the clips provided, they were completely different.

I made many attempts to assemble this but the glass sections will not stay together . I carefully placed the clips and tried various spacings but no use - - no matter how tight the screws, a glass section would pop apart from the assembly. I really wanted this to work because the glass looks nice and seems sturdy but I just couldn't get the whole thing to stay in one piece. I'm returning this item.

Not sure why some said that the glass shattered.. I installed it and let it run for an hour with a high propane fire.. and it didnt shatter.. I did fell the radiant heat, works fine.. used it several times already...dissasembled it and place it back in the box it came from and stored in my garage..I recommend it, just make sure to test it first for an hour or two.. your fire pit might be closer to the fire so test it first.. my fire wasnt that close to it..

Quick and easy assembly. Looks great on our fire pit/coffee table. Bought it for safety around the flames we have kids and dogs. Would recommend to a fried .

Be careful as to the size. This one was to small for my fire pit, but was the recommended one.
